Staff Software Engineer - Full Stack

Job Overview

As a Staff Full-Stack Engineer on the Cloud Clients team, you’ll own end-to-end delivery across the surfaces where dbt developers do their work: dbt Studio in the browser, the dbt VS Code extension, and the CLI workspace runtime that powers both.

Key points

  1. Own parts of the CLI workspace runtime that backs both surfaces, including migrating users off our legacy IDE and enabling asynchronous, background agent runs.

  2. Design and build agent-facing experiences: streaming responses, transparent tool calls, diff review, and charting / rich output for conversational analytics.

  3. Extend dbt into other developer surfaces — MCP integrations that make dbt projects usable directly from AI clients like Claude and Codex.

  4. Lead well-scoped projects end to end: write the plan, partner with design and product, ship in two-week increments, and measure whether it worked.

  5. Deep Python experience plus exposure to TypeScript and React experience — you move across the stack without waiting for a handoff.

  6. Built and maintained something other developers depend on: an IDE, an editor extension, a CLI, an SDK, an LSP server, or a data tool.

  7. Comfort with the operational side of shipping — APIs, Kubernetes, Postgres, observability — and with being on the hook when something breaks.

  8. Strong written communication: you can make a technical argument in a document and bring people along.
